Forever 21's Maternity Saga

Posted by Lauren | Posted in , | Posted on Tuesday, July 20, 2010

It would be idiotic of me to assume that people, for once, would take responsibilities for their own actions. If you haven't heard yet, perhaps I should clue you into news regarding the unnecessary drama following clothing line Forever 21's corporate decision to add a maternity line to their ever-growing products.

It was at the "coincidental" decision of Forever 21's corporate office to introduce a maternity line in cities/states with a high teenage pregnancy rate. This in itself, has caused some stir with parents (well, of course... God forbid they take some personal responsibility for the fact that their own child is having a child). I do not believe the bullshit excuse that it was coincidental and, at the same time, I do not find the choice to introduce a maternity clothing line within their stores to be inappropriate. The choice to place this new brand, Love21, into cities where the teenage pregnancy rate is high is not a coincidence. It is a well thought out marketing plan, something businesses do best! However, don't blame Love21 for your child being knocked up; blame the kid who can't keep his dick in his pants and the bitch you brought up who has an issue keeping her legs CLOSED. Jeez people!

While I am not a shopper at Forever 21 myself, this decision wouldn't hinder me from shopping there in the future nor hinder my decision to allow my children to shop there. It is my job as a parent to stop in and take some responsibility. There are many stores children/teenagers shop at (Macy's, being one of them), that also sell a maternity line, when are we going to be blaming Macy's for the fact that their infecting children and teenagers with sinful thoughts!

I'm sure many of you have shopped in a Walmart, and Walmart carries guns (BB/CO4), are they promoting that your children buy one and shoot the neighbor's cat? I think not. Supermarkets carry beer, are they insinuating that your children should attempt to purchase them and become alcoholics?  MTV hosts a show "Teen Moms," where were these complainers when THAT garbage came out? Where is the responsibility left in some of these people!

Here's an idea, teach your children some fucking morals and maybe we won't need the world protecting them when you fail to raise them right. We can't be censoring everything because you raised your child to be a dumbass- though, usually, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

That, is as HONEST as it's going to get.

For The Love of God: COVER UP.

Posted by Lauren | Posted in | Posted on Thursday, July 01, 2010

*EDIT: COMMENTS WERE DISABLED TEMPORARILY. NOW THEY ARE ENABLED!*
 
I just got back from a much needed Caribbean cruise. Now I don't usually talk about things that aren't in the fore-front of the news, but I just HAD to! I love cruising, though. There's nothing better than being in the lap of luxury, surrounded by the soft sounds of the ocean, being waited on hand and foot, and enjoying the nice view of a fat bitch in a bikini- SAY WHAT?

You heard right! I had my cruise ruined because fat people don't know the difference between bikini and one piece. Hello, heffer, this is a one piece, it is used to cover up all your sinful areas and hold in your dribbling fat. This, is a bikini, it is used to cover up titties and vaginas because skinny girls are required to by law. Learn the two and the value of wearing something form fitting. I just don't get it, who in their right mind, stands in front of a mirror, weighing in at three hundred pounds in a bikini and thinks, "yeah, this is sexy. I look great!" What kind of fucking mirrors are these people looking into? I want one. Right. Now.

I partially blame bikini designers for even designing sizes above a 16 anyway, there is NO NEED- absolutely NO NEED for a size 3XL bikini. Nothing good can come from a 3XL bikini but an awesome THF blog about overweight people wearing them. I want a refund for this cruise and there needs to be a public service announcement regarding this. Forget about informing people about the dangers of smoking marijuana, we need to inform the world that the word bikini rhymes with tinie-weiny for a reason.

For all of you thinking, "well, it can't be THAT bad.. I respect the fact that they have a high self image and the courage to wear such things," I leave you with this last tidbit of crucial evidence. People of the Honest Factor jury, I present to you, exhibit X..X..X..X..X..L!


And that's the stuff nightmares are made out of. ENJOY!

This is a Democracy, Not Communism!

Posted by Lauren | Posted in , | Posted on Tuesday, June 22, 2010

With recent news stirring regarding remarks made by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, I just had to get my hands in on the drama. It's safe to say that President Obama isn't too happy with the blunt honesty of the General, but what exactly is our President looking for? Mindless working drones? Everyone has an opinion and while the opinion's of people in a place of power should sometimes been diluted, it shouldn't be punishable.

May I remind you, Mr. President, that this is not Communism and you are not Kim Jong-Il. There are going to be people who have negative opinions regarding how you and your administration are conducting things within our country and you are just going to have to grin and bare it-- much like George "Dubya" did (maybe ignorance is bliss?). In no way do I feel that you need to stamp your feet like a two year old with a tantrum because someone you appointed showed a tad bit of disrespect and lack of professionalism. While he may have willingly placed his proverbial foot in his mouth, perhaps we should take into account of how well he's doing the job he was appointed for. Let's face it, he wasn't hired as a PR representative and the majority of his time is probably spent figuring out military strategies - we aren't talking about Mr. Rogers here.

Have we forgotten we have a bigger problem than some "greasy" general (pun intended)? President Obama needs to figure out ways to stop the oil spill he has so quickly forgotten and ignore the opinions of others. The Honest Factor asks you to get your priorities straight, Mr. President!

What is your opinions about this? How honest can you be and what is your HONEST FACTOR?

Get on your A-game, BP!

Posted by Lauren | Posted in , , | Posted on Friday, May 28, 2010

You know, I thought I would be pretty late in discussing the events thanks to an oil rig explosion. I figured that, by now, this problem would have been resolved but as I sit here and type my heart out to you all, we are losing close to (if not over) 12,000-15,000 barrels of crude oil every, single day. This is a devastating tragedy that we'll see the effects of for a long time to come and no one is doing anything about it besides watching the destruction it has caused. What. The. Fuck.

At this point, with the devastation that has occurred, you'd think British Petroleum would attempt to try every sound idea out there to stop this from continuing. I mean, this is simply ridiculous! I think the people who can make a difference within BP are busy sitting in their offices made solely of money, on a chair made of silver dollars, behind a desk made of the tears, blood and sweat of their under-paid workers. Well, hey, that's why they don't give a fuck! While we're trying to save our country from a continuous spill of the sweet Texas Tea, they're busy sippin' on English Tea and munchin' on crumpets laughing manically at the disaster they caused. Stop to think of the visual. Okay, back to reality. To British Petroleum, fuck you! I hope you choke on your crumpets and one of your misplaced, yellow TEETH! Take that you uptight, useless twat.

I'm so glad it took nearly two weeks (or was it more?) for President Obama to stand up and say, "wait, I just remembered I am the President of this country and it's my job to step up!" Well no shit, what were you waiting for and what have you been doing the entire time this BS was happening? Did you think the Gulf of Mexico actually BELONGED to Mexico? HA! HA! HA! Even Kevin Costner has a solution and if he can handle a world entirely made of water and Whitney Houston, he can do this. Give the man a chance, hell, anything is better than staring at the disaster occur while you're busy pointing fingers at WHO MAY be responsible.

To settle that, I'll tell you who's responsible: the idiot who didn't think to put pressure valves at every 150 yards to hinder a leak or by the entrance of the hole. Genius, pure genius. Give that man a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, we gave one to Obama so why the hell not! Now that we settled whose responsible, let's work together on fixing this. Shall we?

What are your opinions on this? What are your ideas to fix this? How honest can you be and what is your HONEST FACTOR?

Girls, Gyrating Hips and Booty Shorts -- OH MY!

Posted by Lauren | Posted in , , , | Posted on Monday, May 17, 2010

If you haven't yet seen the video of eight and nine-year-old girls dancing "professionally" to Beyonce's "All The Single Ladies," here is your chance. This video went viral after concerns of the girl's innocence were questioned based on their dance moves and costumes. This video is a pedophile's dream and this video plastered all over the internet because parents do not know when to step up and stop what isn't right. After you watch this video, I think you too will realize just exactly ISN'T right.

Here's a warning to all idiotic parents out there that allow their children to be displayed in this way. There are people out there who want to have sex with your children, they're called pedophiles. Age doesn't matter and it's your job as a parent to put some fucking clothes on them and have the knowledge that gyrating hips for nine-year-old girls is not proper behavior for their age regardless if they're dancing. Throw your kid a fucking Barbie doll or an Easy Bake Oven and secure their innocence before it's too goddamn late.

It's amazing how some parents will sacrifice their children's well being in exchange for fifteen minutes of fame and a piece of shit two dollar trophy. This is your child we are talking about and while your daughters may have displayed amazing athletic skills to dancing enthusiasts, they also may have just displayed jack-off material for closet and convicted child molesters and pedophiles. Take your head out of your asses, the world isn't about sunshine, puppies and rainbows-- at least, not anymore. This world is getting scarier and scarier by the day and for you to throw your child into this world in booty shorts and tube tops is DISGUSTING.

There is a line and the booty popping is where you crossed it. I understand costumes are costumes, but there are costumes for adults and costumes for children. I, in part, do blame the dancing instructor for allowing such dance moves for these little girls but I blame the parents for not standing up and saying, "hey, something isn't right here." It doesn't matter if these girls did not feel their moves were "sexy," the fact is that these moves were perceived as sexy by normal concerned Americans from all over this country. These little girls don't know what sexy is, that's why they're called little girls. Sadly, though, little girls sometimes turn into older sluts and whose fault is that? When does the transformation from girl, lady, or woman to slut happen? At dance class?

SWAT- "Special Weapons and Animal Torture"

Posted by Lauren | Posted in , , | Posted on Saturday, May 08, 2010


Thanks, John, for bringing this story to The Honest Factor's attention.

There's a special place for people with authority issues or people who need a gun in their hands to feel special and apparently that spot is at the SWAT team. If you haven't seen this video that went viral May 2010, perhaps you should. In this video, with "objectionable" content and language, you'll witness the Missouri SWAT team invade the house of a suspected drug kingpin while he, his wife and seven year-old child slept.

Only, their intelligence seemed to be a bit off. Police found a grinder, a pipe and a small amount of marijuana in the home enough for a misdemeanor charge and second-degree child endangerment. Let me get this straight... your "tactical" team storms into the home of a sleeping seven year-old child, fires shots and kills one of their dogs in front of said child and yet this man is the one facing child endangerment charges for smoking a little marijuana in his own home? What a backwards country we live in.

They said the dogs acted aggressively enough to warrant fired shots, but what do you expect when a slew of unknown strangers barge into their home? These men think with their guns, not with their brain and that's what we get for hiring a bunch of idiots to execute a plan put together by the one's with the brains. War, whether it be the War on Drugs or the War of Terrorism, isn't only about the ability to take a gun and win the fight by murdering every mother fucker who gets in your way. You think we would have learned that by now, but maybe I'm just putting too much faith into a team put together by a bunch of gun loving rednecks.

I'd like to give props to the person who filmed this raid in action and had the balls to put it up for the world to see. Make your opinions known here on THF! How honest can you be and what is YOUR honest factor?

The Future of Ground Zero? -- HELL. NO.

Posted by Lauren | Posted in , , | Posted on Thursday, May 06, 2010

Thank you, Anonymous Reader, for requesting that The Honest Factor dedicate a blog to this.

If you haven't heard yet, you're about to and I hope you voice your disgust with this decision like I am about to.  A building damaged by debris from the September 11, 2001 attacks will soon be a thirteen-story mosque. Yes, you read right.  I wonder who's the liberal asshole who thought THAT would be an "awesome" idea. While we're at it, I'd like to add a few sarcastic amendments to this plan:

  1. Make a dedication to Japan where Pearl Harbor once stood.
  2. Build a memorial for Timothy McVeigh, where the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building once was.
  3. Construct a shrine for Ziah Jarrah (the terrorist who led the United 93 hijacking) at Stonycreek Township in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, where United 93 crashed.
We seem to be more interested in being tolerant to religion and politically correct than respectable to the lives that were lost in an attack involving Jihad MUSLIMS. Men, women and children died because of the radical beliefs of a sect of this religion. This is an obvious trojan horse and in no way should we allow such construction from happening. While as an American, I am proud of our right to freedom of religion (and speech- because without, THF wouldn't be here), there is a place for everything. There is a time for religious freedom and a time to be sensitive to what happened there. I'm sure there are other places you can stick a Mosque than right near the footprint where the World Trade Center once stood.

What the fuck are you thinking?

This country is too busy being politically correct and religiously tolerant to just stand up and say NO! Thanks, but no thanks. Go do your religious wailing elsewhere.

Be sure to sign the petition to show your disapproval of this plan! Click here to sign the petition!

What are your opinions about this atrocity? How honest can you be and what is YOUR honest factor?
